No reviews yet. No indication on when any are coming. This is a lot of money to toss at something blindly. I know my kids will probably still want it, but I'm trying to get a feel for whether it's worth purchases extra stuff for.

I imagine we'll start seeing reviews showing up around 12:01am on Sunday, maybe earlier, but yeah, no reviews is making me kind of wary. Thankfully I have enough games coming out next week that I can hold off on a fourth one.

I guess that means Ron didn't get any for review.

INCORRECT SIR! We've been working on it. Embargos and all that. I'll get the embargo info from David, but impressions so far a pretty good actually. Sorry if that hurts your wallet....

Got a call from EB today - taking Mater as the extra char for the preorder. (Aidenn loves Cars more than Monsters Inc or PoTC - he hasn't seen any of the PoTC yet). Was thinking of Dash too (which is a short version of my youngest son)

Yeah, I ended up giving in to the preorder bonuses (extra character and power disc pack) to preorder on Amazon. I guess I will find myself going to Target tomorrow in search of one of these 50% off packs as well.

If you want to play multiplayer in the story missions, you need two of that playset's characters to do so. In other words, if you want to play Monsters U playset, you need to have two character from Monsters Inc.

Oh, at Walmart they also have the 3-Packs of Characters for $14.96 each! Incredible deal!

The playsets there are also only 19.96. Target still has the better deal on those, but still it is a $15 discount over Gamestop.

Wow - thanks for that Hetz. I knew about the Target playset deal, and picked up Cars there, but that's great on the characters. Now my kids can play together in all of the included playsets, after buying the sidekick pack. I went and picked up the villain one too; couldn't resist it at that price.

I just had a minor dust up in a Target because their computers said the Cars Playset wasn't available until 10/15. I had to call the manager and point to their ad in the paper that showed the set that I was trying to purchase was right there, and I grabbed it from the giant display.

I normally don't blow up like that. I was shaking as I left the store. I don't get how people can rage on store employees like that without feeling anything. I've worked retail, I've been a recipient of that first hand.

It's been a rough week. But I got my Cars Playset, and now they know for future customers that there's a potential issue with their barcodes.

So, I managed to get all the characters and playsets. I got all of them, except: Dash, Violet, Franchesco and the special Crystal Lightning McQueen, at least 50% off! Those other figures I got at Toys R Us for Buy One, Get One 50% off. So, I ended up only paying full price for two characters.

I've never seen this type of a sale before on release week! There are Incredible deals all around!

I also managed to get two of the rare Power Discs....the Dumbo one and something with Buzz Lightyear on it.

Yeah, it seems reviews are all over the place on this. Game Informer gave it a 9, Forbes gave it a 9, IGN gave it a 8.7 and Gametrailers gave it a 8.6. I thought the Gametrailers review would have been even higher the way they were praising it the whole review.

Yet, it got a 73 here and I've also seen a 2/5 at another site.

Could be a love it or hate it type game.

Polygon has it at an 8, GamesRadar gave it a 2.5/5.

To be fair, I really enjoyed the game, despite its flaws. My daughter and I are having a blast with the different playsets and just dinking around in the Toy Box.

I really hope they work out these issues with the inevitable next-gen editions. I mean, I wouldn't have gone out and bought a Playset for a movie I didn't even like if I didn't think there was value in this game. This is a decent start to what could be a fantastic franchise. And that's fine.

Also, a word of warning to people buying Power Disc packs at Toys R Us for a chance at the 10 exclusive power discs that they are offering. The Gold packs (with the exclusive power discs) only have Mikes Car in them as of now for an exclusive....meaning if you buy 5 packs off them you will get 5 of Mikes Car and 5 random non-exclusive discs. They are going to be releasing packs with the others later and its not clear yet how often a new one will be released.

So, don't buy a bunch of gold packs thinking you will get a bunch of exclusives. One guy I was talking to at GameStop had 6 of Mikes Car. Pretty crappy of Toys R Us to do that....since there are signs up saying that all 10 exclusives are available and they are randomly in the packs, when that is clearly not the case.

My kids are loving it as well. Our only complaint so far is that 2 player requires 2 characters from the same world. So for instance the monsters Inc world only lets you play with monsters inc characters. Luckily we bought some extra incredibles figures so they could at least play 2 player there. Wish you could mix aand match characters across the worlds though.
